THE Democrats have good deal to saw
and blow themselves red in the face, about
criminal charges and '1ying" on the part
of the Republicans both with respect to the
State treasury and the Insane Asylum, but
we notice that no one seems anxious to test
the truth of any of the statements made in a
court of justice. The Journal again repeats
that every statement made in these columns

The temperance bill is the special order
in the House for 10 o'clock this morning If
the Republican members of the House care for
the pledges the party made in the platform;
if they care to represent the undoubted senti
ment of the Republican party Of the State; if
they care to honor the vote and the sentiment
whereby Republican plurality was made
possible at the last election; if they care to
keep good faith with their party and with
themselves, so as to insure a Republican sue
cess at the next election, they will vote for
the passage Of the BILL and then for the pas
sage of such other bills as may be necessary
to carry out the platform idea that
the people of each locality shall
determine for themselves what measure
of restriction toward the public traffic in liquor
they will adopt. Indianapolis has no right to
say to Grant county or to Henry county that
its people shall be bound by what our people
want, and the people Of those counties have no
right to say to Indianapolis that we shall do
as they would do in their localities or let the
traffic 60 unregulated. The Republican plat
form declares for local sovereignty and local
control over this question, and for the imposi-
ton of q higher taxation upon the traffic for
the relief of local treasures. If the Repub-
lican majority of the House stand upon these
principles they are upon solid and defensible
ground.

"Workingmen in labor organizations are call

papers for the most part are weak and discredit-

THE POPE in GERMAN POLITICS.

Among the rapidly shifting changes in Eu-
ropean politics nothing is more remarkable
than the sudden alliance between Prince Bis
marck and the Vatican and the appearance of
the Pope as an active factor in German affairs.
Emperor William and Prince Bismarck are
Protestants, and the sympathies of the Ger
man government are strongly that way. It
has not been long since Bismarck snubbed
the Vatican by giving very conspicuous notice
that the ecclesiastical power was and must
continue subject to the civil Suddenly, at a
moment when he needs all the help he can
command, the Pope turns up his active friend,
and we have the very extraordinary spectacle
of the Vatican openly interfering in politics.
Cardinal Jacobini's letter urging the priests
and all good Catholics in Germany to support
the government and vote for candidates favor
able to the septennate will figure in history
among the surprising and dramatic incidents
of this period. Just how the alliance came
about may never be known, but it is new
proof of Bismarck's administrative and diplo-
matte skill that the authority of the Vatican
should have been found ready for his service
at the very moment he needed it. Another
notable phase Of the case and evidence of the
height of party feeling in Germany, is that
the earnest wish of the Pope. amounting
almost to command, that Catholics in
Germany should support the govern
ment army bill is openly dislegarded
and opposed by many of the Cath
Ole leaders. DIR. Windthorst, himself a
Catholic and leader of the opposition, is even
moro pronounced in his opposition since the
PRONUNCIATION of the Jacobini letter than be
was before, and the singular spectacle is af-
forded of Catholic statesmen actively opposing
the expressed wish of the Pope. Another
curious aspect of the case is. that Cardinal
Jacobinis letter places the Pope on record as
favoring a seven years army appropriation
bill, instead of three years, on the ground
that the former would be more conducive tc
the preservation of the peace and unity oil
Germany. In other words, the greater the
preparations for war, the more likely the
preservation Of peace This is a singular
pc lion for the Pope to assume especially
when the military preparations which Ger
many proposes to make are avowedly against
France, Catholic country Of course, it is
difficult from this distance to Judge with &C
citrate intelligence concerning European poll
tics, but as the Pope has entered the field a:
an open supporter of the Bismarckian policy
the world will be very apt to regard his act.
from a political standpoint. It is eviden
that Herr Windthorst and other Catholic
leaders do, for they are abating nothing O.
their opposition to the septennate. and it ii
even doubtful if the government will be abb.
to carry the elections.
